Tom Shales says Katie Couric "did a brisk, engaging job of getting the strange new show off the ground last night" but "the premiere was too jammed with 'new features,' as if the producers feared people would give Couric only one night's chance before they ran away to some other option." What other critics say:
> Gay: "Last night, some of the ideas clicked, some didn't" (Newsday)
> Owen: "There were, perhaps, one too many branded segments" (PP-G)
> Ostrow: It was "a familiar stew of actual news and celebrity piffle" (DP)
> Bianco: Couric seemed stiff at times, over-enthusiastic at others (USAT)
> Friedman: Her producer let the cuteness get way out of control (MW)
> Goodman: Couric & Co. brought a casualness to the newscast (SFC)
> Brownfield: She seemed determined to keep a straight face (LAT)
> Garron: How about, "Good night from what used to be CBS News"? (HR)
> Garvin: "An uneasy imitation of the soft-core morning news genre" (MH)
> Bark: It may have sent some hardened purists into cardiac arrest (DMN)
> Weiss: Competent and safe, with a tiny bit of payoff at the end (BG)
> Read what Poynter faculty, staff thought of Couric's debut (Poynter)
